Find Ancestors

That's sad indeed Gins. Poor girl, losing both parents so close together.



Remind me not to say that my day shouldn't be pressured............... :-S




Re our avatars, I'm not too bothered by the missing post count, although it is helpful to suss out if a member is a newbie.........it's the missing Send Message bit which won't help new folk. Doubt they will all think to hover their cursors over the avatars..............


LK, when my mum lived with us, she had her room in cream and green because it was restful.


No messaging done yet........sigh.......off I go.........sigh

Perhaps, as they can't see the 'send messages' button Cynths, the newbies might just get the hang of answering on the thread instead of sending those annoying pm's which we then have to transfer onto the thread for them ;-) :-D

It's not needed anyway as you would normally just click on the person's name to send them a message.

I love the Ancestry green on the home page images.....so calm


So, when I get to redo the sitting room....instead of creams, a mixture me thinks

Nicola Adams....what a wonderful smile she has, and indeed she should :-D

Goodness! Am I first here this morning? Thanks Sylvs.......toast will be fine but the smells of cooking coming from your kitchen are very tantalising :-D



Looks as though it could be another warm day here - I have to admit that, even though the nights are quite close, it hasn't stopped me sleeping. Probably too cream crackered to do much else!!! I do find the school holidays rather wearing as I try to juggle keeping OH and daughter on the go. :-S


Gins, I remember having a spare bedroom painted in pale green once - with pink and green bedding. It was quite nice and, as you say, seemed a very calm room.

WOW - Sylvia, you really have outdone yourself today!!

I will HAVE to stick to a light breakfast if I am to tackle that brunch !!! :-0 :-0 :-0

So, just one slice of tomato toast for me and a cup of tea please and I will do my best to sample a little of everything later (though, even I can't get through all that !) ;-)

I am late starting as well as I seem to have had a little lie-in again - I think that is is lack of grandchildren that does it !! ;-)

See you all later when that lovely brunch arrives.

P.S. - Thanks for the pm Linds - have replied.
